The author fundamentally misunderstands poor weather.
Portland's weather is pretty nice! Definitely better than, say, Chicago, or St Louis, or Minneapolis, or Buffalo. I'd argue also better than Austin or Dallas, though people are free to disagree about the merits of unbearably hot weather vs rainy cold weather.
- LikeAnElephant 4y agoAmen. Mild weather + usually gray > extreme weather + usually sunny. Though I'd never fault someone for making different decisions. The fire season of the past few years are changing the equation for me though...
- d1str0 4y agoAbsolutely! I’d much prefer a mild temp with constant rain vs. wildly changing temps at extremes and crazy wind or storms.
- aussiesnack 4y agoClearly a matter of taste then. I much prefer the extremes, and find mild weather boring. Maybe it's having grown up in England. Much happier where I live now and I'm at frequent risk of fires and floods!
